Does anyone think it odd that SCOTUS decide it’s up to the states regarding abortion,

But strikes down gun control legislation in individual states.

It appears to want to ensure there’s a good chance that children will continue to be massacred in schools.

Right?

the difference is the gun rights case is clearly stated in the constitution as federal law so that case was based on a written law, the abortion case was based on a court case/opinion. since the original passing of roe each court session has said that congress needs to pass a federal law and each congress has tried. now that the roe opinion has been struck down maybe congress will get serious about passing a federal law.

@Mak03 They didn't need to, because every new Supreme Court Justice made a promise under oath that they would uphold Roe. It's time to remove some people from the bench.

@Mak03 Unless a judge is guilty of perjury. Or do you support them perjuring themselves?

@LordShadowfire in the comments i have read they all said they would not seek to overturn roe but would rule on a case by case basis so unless there is evidence that they sought this there is no perjury

@Mak03 They literally overturned Roe after saying they wouldn't. You yourself just said it. Come on, now. Use that horse sense.

@LordShadowfire no they literally overturned roe after saying they would not seek to

@Mak03 I'm sorry. Are you saying they overturned it without seeking to do so? Are you literally saying they unintentionally overturned it?
Mak03 · F
@LordShadowfire no i am saying a case was brought before them that they ruled on. they did not seek the case it was brought to them they heard the case and made a ruling on it which is word for word what each justice has said they would do

@Mak03 God damn, I wish I was as diabolical and deceptive as a judge.

@LordShadowfire even RBG said there were mistakes in the writing of roe and the point of my post is now maybe congress will get serious about making abortion a federal law which they have been weakly attempting since 1972 it was never serious for them because they could stand on roe without risking political clout by voting one way or the other now that roe is gone federally they will have to do something for real.
